I am reading a feed, and need to find the occurrence of a string format, for example, in "Feed for 03/02/2012". Now this date will always be of the format: %@/%@/%@. I need to find is this format occurs, and thus extract the date. The date and month can be any, so i don't have a specific date to search for. I searched in the docs, could not find it. Only option possible to me seems to take all 12 combinations of a month like "/12/", and find the occurrence of any of these.
Is there any better approach?
You can use regular expressions:
NSString *feed = @"Feed for 03/02/2012";
NSError *error;
NSRegularExpression *regex = [NSRegularExpression
regularExpressionWithPattern:@"([0-9]{1,2})/([0-9]{1,2})/([0-2][0-9]{3})"
options:NSRegularExpressionCaseInsensitive
error:&error];
[regex enumerateMatchesInString:feed options:0 range:NSMakeRange(0, [feed length]) usingBlock:^(NSTextCheckingResult *match, NSMatchingFlags flags, BOOL *stop){
NSString *month = [feed substringWithRange:[match rangeAtIndex:1]];
NSString *day = [feed substringWithRange:[match rangeAtIndex:2]];
NSString *year = [feed substringWithRange:[match rangeAtIndex:3]];
//...
}];
